Messi scores in 1000th game of his career ahead of Ronaldo and Maradona

PSG and Argentine striker Lionel Messi started the match against Australia in Qatar. This game was the 1000th in the career of a football player.

At the 35th minute of the meeting, the 35-year-old Argentinean opened the scoring, updating another record – the ball against the Australians was the first for Messi at the 1/8 finals of the World Championships.

Thanks to this ball, the striker overtook the legendary Diego Maradona and Cristiano Ronaldo, who each scored eight goals in the world championships.
